Rethugs Never Accept Legitimacy of Democrats Elected President

[kairos12]

Rethugs still can't believe or accept they were defeated by President Obama. Not once, but twice. The fact he is African-American has pushed them into full derangement mode. Don't be surprised if impeachment charges are referred by Boner's flying monkeys in the House. This is especially true if Rethugs capture the Senate.

1. Their lining up and salivating.

2. This is what we get for not impeaching Reagan.

There should have never been a Bush presidency of any kind, let alone two of them.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. This shit would never happen if we Impeached

Nixon or charged his with Treason in 1968. LBJ had the goods on this crook but didn't act and it's been one fake investigation after another in the Rethug controlled House.

4. I've got popcorn stocked for Obama's impeachment trial should the GOP steal the Senate. It should be

quite the spectacle. Let it be a cautionary tale for the next would-be DEM Prez who panders to the GOPee.

11. I don't call it pandering

I prefer to call it attempting to govern the country in the best interests of the people. Unfortunately, that only really works if you have both sides wanting to work together and, clearly, only one side- ours- does.

16. I don't get this

SO, it is HIS fault they are jackasses?

In what way could he have acted that would prevent them from having been jackasses?

"tougher?"

Spoke more critically of them or something?

This is republican thinking, that only a tough talking republican would keep Putin from doing what he is doing kind of thinking.

His being more confrontational or being "tougher" with them would only provide justification for the dipshit "middle" voters for the republican's treating him like shit.

His "not pandering" to them, whatever that might mean would not prevent them in even the least way from being jackasses to him.

Only provide something one step further removed from bullshit for justification in their minds.

5. He was only elected because of massive voter fraud perpetrated by Democrats.

I read this recently on a right wing blog.
Up to 20 million votes were illegal according to this "accurate and fair" blog.

It's easy to see how people become outraged if they believe this garbage.

15. It is likely this blogger has a Sear's Tuff shed full of tin foil.

6. They think they have a permanent lease on the White House

As a comparison, at the While House last December, Obama pleaded with those present not to try to take any of the coffee cups or silverware with them. "We don't own this place, it's just a rental," he said (we were allowed to take a paper napkin with the presidential seal with us).

7. Maybe that's because they haven't had

a legitimate republican president since Eisenhower, they're jealous.

8. Yes, I agree. Because they have lied and cheated their way to get Bush into the WH, they

automatically believe that everyone else also is doing the same thing -- at least, they have
convinced themselves that it is so.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. If you ask them why they think we cheated

you just get a vague string of garbage and conspiracy theories that they don't bother to provide any evidence for just ACORN, ACORN!!! Then they swear that a bunch of Democratic voters and "takers" are running around from polling place to polling place to vote Democratic over and over again........somehow.

[Cal33]

13. Yet most of the Pubs. really believe what they are saying -- thanks to Fox News and the

media that are 90% Republican-owned. As far as the Republican leadership is concerned,
it pays very well to lie to their people. In fact, it's the only way for them to survive as leaders.
If they did tell the truth, they'd be finished.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. Nope

to them, it seems like they consider Democratic Presidencies a "bug" not a feature when it comes to holding the WH. They refuse to treat Democratic Presidencies with any sort of legitimacy and/or respect and believe that a Democratic victory HAS to be a "fluke" or that we MUST have stolen it right out from under them somehow (i.e. ACORN)- even when the legitimacy of their own Presidencies (i.e. Bush II) is seriously called into question. This is why they obstruct and refuse to work with our Presidents so vociferously.

[Cal33]

14. This is the way sociopaths naturally behave. The GOP of the past was bad enough, but

today, the GOP is top-heavy with them. The former leadership of the old GOP has
long since been kicked out and replaced by Neo-Cons, Corporatists, Libertarians,
Religious Fundamentalists..... And most recently, Tea-baggers are now trying their
best to take over from the Neo-Cons the way the Neo-Cons had taken over from the
old GOP.

And things are going from bad to worse. I can see self-destruct lying in wait.
The sad thing is when they do self-destruct, they will also take huge numbers of
innocent people -- perhaps the rest of the world -- along with them. WWIII?

[CANDO]

12. For those who don't remember the Clinton years...

It was pretty fucking bad then also. But a black man in the WH has definitely pushed them a little further. The extremists in their media bubble have pushed them for almost 30 years now. You simply cannot run a country when one side declares all out war on another.

[MillennialDem]

17. Go ahead and impeach him, it takes 67 votes in the senate to remove him from

office.

Good luck with that...

And moreover, it's mathematically impossible for them to get 67 senate seats (outside of a dem senator dying or resigning).
